Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari morale is still high despite mistakes

Sebastian Vettel insists the atmosphere at Ferrari has not been poisoned by the team's recent run of disappointing results.

Over the course of the last five races, Vettel has seen his chances of winning the championship start to slip away as his title rival Lewis Hamilton has stormed to four victories. Ferrari has arguably had the faster car for the majority of that time, but a combination of mistakes, collisions and poor performances have allowed Hamilton to open up a 40-point gap to Vettel in the standings.

At the last round in Singapore, Vettel qualified and finished third on a circuit where Ferrari was expected to dominate.
